Fig. 1 included in this article shares a conceptual framework for integrating STEM education. The article further elaborates on Fig.1 and its use. Explain Fig. 1 and how this framework can allow teachers to identify the knowledge and skills needed to effectively integrate science with technology, engineering design, and mathematics.  Use 10-12 well constructed sentences to answer the question.

The Disciplinary Core Ideas include four sections. Three of the four sections include a topic of science. Select all 3 topics of the DCI’s, not including Engineering Design.
